The position of Captain is one of the few positions upon any of the ships in the fleet that is hereditary. The eldest child of the Captain is responsible for learning the ways of navigation and leadership from their parents and then when their parents die, it becomes their duty to lead the ship their parents led.
After a handful of centuries, the only remaining feature of the uniform that remains is the compass; passed down between captains for countless generations of skyborn, the compass is the true sign of the right to rule. It represents a knowledge of the way forwards, not just for the crew and ship but for all Skyborn.
Every captain tailors their own uniform based upon their individual tastes as well as whatever materials are most abundant at the time of their promotion. They tend towards brighter colors than their comrades, if only for ease of identification by outsiders and during the heat of crisis.
